Thanks for posting reports! I've been wanting to hit that pier for a while.

Weds 4 -4-07 poor day to fish windy rainy and bad tides ....Saw a few sharks caught , some stingrays , a lot of whitings , no red or blackdrums . We will try again friday ....

Fri 4-6 Went fishing by myself to the galveston fishing pier . I prefer to fish with wife and freinds but went alone. Had a fair catch, 2 keeper reds , 4 keeper black drum , and my first flounder of the yr ( 3 1/2 lbs ) . Saw a few bull reds landed , a few sharks , and a Jack.

Keep the reports coming, Bob. I can see that its time to hit the surf.

I tend to stick to the bays for the most part, but that spring/summer time surf fishing is pretty cool.

April 10th weather sucks windy water muddy BUT they still catching keeper reds, and black drum . Also a few sheepheads and lots of oversize whiting . 6 lbs is still leading the Gafttop Tourney board. For thosre that dont know it . The Galveston fishing Poer holds an yearly Gaftop Tourney . Cost you nothing you are entered when you pay for going on pier . $300.00 for biggest Gafttop .

Gezzzzzzzzzzzz my typing could use a lot of improvement lol so can my fishing

April Friday 13th , Galveston Fishing Pier. Wasn't as windy as weatherman was saying and didnt start raining till 11 am . My wife and I got 4 hours of fishing in. I caught 3 keeper drum black drums up to 8lbs and a handful of nice size whiting . My wige she had bad luck , she only caught a 23 inch red and a 24 inch red . Gawd I hate it when she outfishes me . Didnt really see anyone else catching anything ....

I went Friday night got there about midnight and left about 8:00 am. Caught some Whiting and gaftop (not big enough for the tourny). I only saw one Bull red caught the entire time. The water was very rough. Not a very good trip. Maybe I will have better luck this weekend.

What do you usually use for bait out there?

I dont know how often you fish there but the best fishing this time of year ( except for gafttop) is in the shallows . I ususally fish 100 yards from shore ..

bobtx1950, Hi I am from Allen, Tx (just north of Dallas) and would love to do some saltwater inshore fishing. Can you tell me how to get to your spot or the pier please?

Thanks
